Louisville, Kentucky Established 1849 y . '.' '" ,, "I love a rooster," Josh Bill- ings used to say, "for two things: the crow what's in him, and the spur what's on him to back up the crow." For the past ten years these little columns have contained some fairly persistent crowing about the uniquely satisfying flavor of our old-fashioned sour- mash bourbon. But only if you have critically sa vored our famous OLD FITZGERALD can you really know if the "spur" in its flavor backs up my crow. One of our customers writes, - "When I have a social glass I don't want a 'panty waist' whiskey, I enjoy the robust flavor of OLD FITZGERALD." And it is true that, starting with our secret family recipe to the far-distant day of final aging, our bourbon is made solely for our friend and others like him who want to taste their whiskey. But there are those who don't! If you are one who seeks the "meek and mild," our OLD FITZGERALD may be a bit too vigorous for your taste. Y et this you'll never know until you try. To you I recom- mend the open-mindedness of the old vaudevillian who, asked if he played the violin, invari- ably replied: "Don't know, I've never tried!" It may well be that after your first bottle of OLD FITZGERALD the blandness of your present whiskey may be so pale on your palate that you will join an inner circle of Bourbon Elite who have made Old Fitz the final choice of their mature tastes. If you will make this honest test, then write and tell me if my "crow" has been too loud, or -if you find it so, not loud enough,-I will return the favor by sending you our patented "Proof-Selector" jigger which measures out the desired amount of flavor from your bottle of OLD FITZGERALD.

It was clear that the newspapers did not interest him; w hen- ever she engaged him in conversation concerning an artIcle they had just read, he hastily agreed with all her con- clusions, and when, trying to find out whether he had any opinions of his own, she said that all the émigré papers were lying, he also agreed. Newspapers were one thing, people another. She Imagined people of various tendencies-"a bunch of intellectuals," as her mother put it-gathered together in their apartment, and how Luzhin, listening to these lively disputes and con- versations on new themes, would if not blossom out then at least find a tem- porary diversion. Of all her mother's acquaintances the most enlightened and even "Leftist," as her mother affirmed with a certain coquetry, was considered to be Oleg Sergeyevich Smirnovsky. But when Mrs. Luzhin asked him to bring to her place some interesting, freethinking people, Smirnovsky replied that he did not r vol ve in such circles. After this failure she began to recall peo- ple whom she had chanced to meet and who mIght be of aid to her now. She remembered a Russian gIrl who used to SIt next to her at the Berlin School of Applied Arts-the daughter of a political worker of the democratic group-also an unappreciated relative working in the office of a liberal Russian newspaper, the name of which was gutturally rouladed every evening hy the fat paper woman on the corner, and one or two other people. It occurred to her that many intellectuals probably remem- bered Luzhin the writer or knew of Luzhin the chess player and would visit her home with pleasure. And what did Luzhin care about all this? The only thing that really in- terested him was the complex, cun- ning game in whlch he had hecome enmeshed. Helplessly and sullenly he sought for signs of the chess repetition. But to be always on his guard, to strain his attention constantly was impossible. Something would temporarily weaken inside him, he would take carefree pleasure in a game printed in the news- paper-and presently would note with despair that he had been unwary again, and that a delicate move had just been made in his life, mercilessly continuing the fatal combination. Then he would decide to redouble his watchfulness and keep track of ever) second of his life, for traps could be everywhere. And he was oppressed most of all by the impossibility of inventing a rational defense, for his opponent's aim was still hIdden. Too stout and flabby for his years, he MAY lb.
